PHILIPS 272G5DYEB 27-Inch G-Sync Ultimate Performance Gaming Monitor 144hz, 1MS, 3D Ready

Amazeballs is the first word that comes to mind after setting this baby up and feeling this kind of fluidity in gameplay and sharpness in presentation. It's absolutely stunning. I have found that the fixed rate of 144 frames per second you get with G-Sync enabled is far superior than up to twice the frames you're getting with vsync disabled on a 60hz monitor, and input lag is indeed nonexistent. The monitor arrived well packaged, quickly, without any damage, and with no busted pixels or missing parts.I primarily use the monitor to play Counter Strike: Global Offensive on Windows 8.1 with an i7-4790k & 2 780ti's in SLI. I can't even express how greatly this monitor alone though has improved the gameplay experience over my old Samsung 24" LCD. I've also tried a few other games so far & saw great performance with no issues so far.When you first plug this monitor in, follow these steps:1. Download and install the driver from Philips website. Install it through Device Manger by expanding 'Monitors', then right-click on "Generic plug and play monitor" & select properties, then choose the Driver tab & select "update driver" to initate the driver installation. Select the "Browse my pc" option, select the directory you unzipped the driver file from Philips website into, & press "OK". As long as it now shows up as a Philips monitor, you're good.2. Ensure you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed, and also ensure that SLI has been enabled if you use a multiple video card configuration. Use Nvidia GeForce Experience to verify the driver is up to date, and check your SLI configuration by right-clicking the desktop and selecting "Nvidia control panel" then select the SLI option and enable it if necessary.3. Set your monitor's refresh rate to 144hz. Right-click on the desktop and select the Resolution option. Once it opens there's a link on the right side to "Advanced settings" you'll click. Now select the Monitor tab and you'll see a pulldown menu through which you can set the refresh rate.It's probably documented somewhere in something I should have read, but I actually had trouble getting set up properly (for like an agonizing hour or two) before figuring out step 3. Buyer's remorse was hitting me hard as I immediately came to the conclusion I was going to have to return the monitor. But I stuck it through with troubleshooting and after I realized I was only getting 60fps in games it clicked for me that I would need to set the refresh to 144hz before I would see 144fps in games.PC Master Race represent,D

My old Phillips served me well!

After much research and not liking any monitors spec i saw, I finally stumbled upon this. There were a few things i was looking for. High refresh rate, nice adjustable stand, NO speakers, high specs (1080, 1ms, etc) and 3 year warranty. This monitor I knew had all these things, except for the warranty. Taking a chance and not wanting to get a asus monitor, what would you know when I get the monitor the warranty card says it has three years, YES. More unexpected features....It designed so well that you cant see any cables plugged in anywhere on it (unless its to high you might see them), has a nice loop in the back for cable management, and no annoying bright lights to stare at. Also for the remote, that thing is awesome, good bye are the days of pressing the wrong buttons to try and adjust something on the fly.As for how it looks with 144hz, awesome if not amazing would be the best way to describe it. After being on 60 hz monitors since 09, I wasn't really all that convinced about 144. I knew it would look nice, but how nice? Apparently very nice, its something you have to see to believe. Was messing between 60 hz, 120 hz, and 144 and there is a very notable difference, you eyes can literally feel it. Even my dad, who is 55 and not the most tech savy person in the world, even noticed the difference. I noticed one reviewer mentioned said it felt like he was cheating, he is right. Games play so perfectly its not even funny. GOOD BYE V SYNCH.I have ran into one or two minor quirks worth mentioning, but nothing that affects the monitor in any way. I like the usb ports, but using them the other day with my wireless headset it seems to cut out here and there. Plugged it back into my pc and no problems. Might have just been the game or something else, have to test it more. Also I noticed the screen saver not working all the time, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Again, not really blaming the monitor, we all know how pc's can be.I'm using an amd 8350 4hz, evga gtx 680, 8 gig ddr3, 6gb sec 4tb drive, asus mobo. For 6 months or so this setup didn't feel like much. As you can see it's no slouch. Not really being impressed with it i wasn't paying to much mind to my new pc. That was until my crappy 19 inch samsung screen crapped out. Oh well, time for a NEW ONE! This monitor gave a whole new meaning to playing games on my pc, and really unleashed what its capable of. Don't be lazy like i was and forked up all this cash for a new pc, just to be using a crappy monitor. You don't want this monitor, you NEED this monitor if your using a high end setup. Otherwise your wasting your money cause you didn't spend more. Yes, it sounds crazy but its true. BUY THIS.

Giving this four stars, only because I cannot give it 3.75.The G-Sync is great! Works as advertised and is definitely noticeable. Any tearing or stalling is completely gone. So that part I am very pleased with. Cranking it along with dual 980's and zero complaints about the performance.The monitor itself however has some issues that for the money I wish were a bit more refined. When things go into hibernation, the monitor requires a hard reset to bring it back to life. Not a big deal but a pain, and the factory driver should remedy this but currently don't. Maybe with Windows 10?Some of the colors, particularly white are pretty far off. I still need to play with this a bit more but would love it if this were a bit more dialed in.To me this is a decent monitor, that with the addition of the G-Sync makes it a very solid gaming and multi purpose monitor. I do however feel it would be a better and more accurate value at 50.00 -75.00 bucks less. If they were to make a higher resolution version, I would certainly give it serious consideration.

Tamaño ideal, configuraciones variadas y la capacidad de correr a 144 hz. El único detalle que le pondría es a la interfaz de la pantalla para la configuración del brillo y todo eso, se ve algo rústica, pero fuera de eso genial. Tal vez igual, implementar o hacer intuitivo el menú de opciones. Trae su controlito para modificar los ajustes de la pantalla. Se mueve en muchos ángulos y se ve de resistente material.

The colours are not the greatest if you're coming from something like an IPS panel, but a few tweaks and it can be made a lot better. Build quality is great, very good monitor overall. 144hz is surreal.

Really good monitor and a good price for what you get 144hz is a good improvemnt over 60hz for gaming

El monitor es bueno solo que sus colores vienen muy mal calibrados tendras que calibrarlos tu mismo si quieres tener buena imagen en pantallalamentablemente llego golpeado por la paqueteria se quebro un poco el bicel de la parte de atras pero funciono y asi lo deje ya que no se cuanto tiempo tarde la reclamación y regresarlo por lo demas todo muy bien.
